Single panel: A woman (Laverne) hosts a small group of women in a living room, seated on couches with a coffee table holding tea cups and a teapot. Standing translucent at the left, in greenish ghostly tones, is the spirit of a Native American man with feathers in his hair.
Laverne: OH, LADIES, THIS IS RUNNING WOLF. HE WAS BURIED HERE FOUR-HUNDRED YEARS AGO, AND HE'S VERY ANGRY ABOUT ME AND TED LIVING HERE. VERY ANGRY.
Ghost (Running Wolf): YOU'RE PATRONIZING ME AGAIN, LAVERNE.

A full-color single-panel comic. A blonde woman named Laverne hosts several women friends in her living room, everyone seated on couches around a coffee table with teacups. Standing translucent and green-tinted at the left edge is the ghost of a Native American man with feathers in his hair. Laverne cheerfully introduces him: 'Oh, ladies, this is Running Wolf. He was buried here four-hundred years ago, and he's VERY angry about me and Ted living here. VERY angry.' The ghost, looking unimpressed, replies in a small speech bubble: 'You're patronizing me again, Laverne.' The joke: she's reduced a genuinely aggrieved spirit to a quaint party anecdote. Votey (a small black-and-white follow-up panel): the ghost of Running Wolf sits hunched and dejected alone by a fireplace, holding a bowl, looking sad and defeated.
